Since 1691

Sumitomo Forestry Co., Ltd. was established in 1691. Our first field of business was forestry, planting trees and growing forests, and this expanded to the extent that we now own forests covering approx. 1/900th of Japan's total area. Today, based on our forestry business, Sumitomo Forestry Group is globally expanding its "comprehensive housing-related activities", ranging from distribution/production/sale of wood and construction materials, construction/sale of custom-built wooden housing, and renovations to real estate distribution greening activities and overseas operations.

Our Strengths

Our Earning Real Estate Consulting Division responds to investors' needs with regard to purchasing/selling property and rearrangement/effective use of assets by giving full play to the comprehensive strengths of the Sumitomo Forestry Group, utilizing our experience and track record in the investment/commercial real estate market and our extensive networks.

"Due in part to the impact of steep rises in real estate prices in Asian countries, investment aimed at portfolio diversification has ben heating up in recent years in Japan, where country risk is low.
However, due to differences in tax systems and currency exchange risks, when purchasing real estate in Japan, caution is required with regard to procedures and costs at the time of purchase and running costs after purchase."

To enable overseas investors to undertake real estate transactions with peace of mind, Sumitomo Forestry Group companies provides a range of services utilizing our various networks that include financial institutions, tax accountants, and judicial scriveners.
With regard to post-purchase lease management in particular, Group company Sumitomo Forestry Residential Co., Ltd. provides lease proposals so there is no need for concern about room vacancies or non-payment of rent.
